“Breanna was absolutely lovely! Zinnia had gotten sick on the way to their home and Breanna was still okay with watching over her! She kept me updated the entire time I was gone, sent lots of pictures, and followed my instructions to a tee (including the extra ones I added last minute to help Zinnia feel better)! Zinnia got used to her very quick and had a wonderful time playing, lounging, and going for walks together!”
“Our schedule was erratic and included my mistake in scheduling. Sima and her family were gracious hosts and worked with our schedule. I received updates on how our doggo was doing everyday. It has been a pleasure working with them, I would definitely consider them next time we are in town.”
“We recently needed to find a new sitter for our dogs for the first time in a couple of years so we were a little anxious about how they would handle a new place. They had a great first stay with Ellyn! She sent pictures/updates every day and we could tell that they were comfortable and well cared for. They were happy and tired from their adventures when we picked them up. We will definitely use Ellyn again and would highly recommend her!”
“Our dog Woody had a great stay with Victoria. It was our first time leaving him and we loved seeing the videos of him that she sent twice a day. She was easy to communicate with and very responsive to any questions. He came home happy and tired from playing with all of his friends.”
“We would like to give Ali 10 stars! She was the best possible caregiver for our nervous goofy dog. She sent dear photos and videos during our trip, and it was so sweet to hear how she spoke to Lucky. On top of all of the expert care, she was extremely gracious and flexible when I made a mistake with the booking dates. We feel so fortunate to have found Ali.”
“Tia loved my Dash like he was her own. Dash was very well taken care of and loved. I received daily updates with pictures and videos. Tia is also very accommodating. Would highly reccomend to everyone!”
“Adrienne is a loving, flexible dog sitter. Her apartment is perfect for dogs. She really puts you at ease with contact while you are on the road. A+”
“My cat is anxious and shy and Audrey did a great job keeping her comfortable. She was very responsive and I received regular updates. My cat didn’t want to leave her at the end haha. Would recommend her to anyone. Thanks for everything! 🩷”
“Maple loved her stay! She and Luna became best friends, and I know they tired each other out! Lucas did a great job sending pics every day and letting me know how things were going. Would definitely book again!”
“Adisyn took care of our 48 pound hound mix for a week while my family was on vacation, and we felt really good about it the whole time. Our dog took to her right away during our meet-and-greet, Adisyn seems very sweet and to really enjoy dogs. She has a lovely fenced in backyard for her dog and ours to run around in, which was a big plus for us. It feels good to have a future pup sitter we trust!”
“My dog Reggie had a wonderful time with Sharon and her dogs! Sharon sent photos and videos throughout the day, and Reggie didn't want to leave! He came home happy and tired. Thank you Sharon!”
“Nelia took excellent care of Daffy while our family was away! She sent us 2 to 3 updates each day, along with pictures of our dog, which gave us tremendous peace of mind. The photos showed that Daffy wasn't simply being boarded, but was truly being included in the family's daily activities. We could not be happier with the care and service Nelia provided. If you're in the Pittsburgh area and need a reliable, caring dog sitter, we highly recommend her. We will absolutely use her services again in the future. Thank you, Nelia, for taking such wonderful care of our fur baby!”
“Adam was fantastic with Macy! He sent daily pictures of their activities; even twice on most days! Kept us up-to-date on all things and really gave us peace of mind leaving Macy behind for two weeks. We would 110% reach out to Adam again the next time we need a sitter for Macy.”
“Justin was great! He took great care of my dog, giving her multiple walks and play sessions, providing updates throughout her stay. His dog Watson was a great companion for her. I appreciate that he only takes one dog at a time, providing dedicated care while dog sitting. I would have Justin watch my dog again.”
“Raeann is truly the best. She cares for Bronn as if he were her own. She always sends lots of updates and pictures (which as anxious dog mom I appreciate immensely). I could not recommend her enough and Bronn is looking forward his next visit!”
“My booking request was super last minute because my previous arrangements fell through, and Augusta was originally not available but reached back out to me later on to tell me she would be able to if I still needed it which I greatly appreciated! She was great with Bobble and communicated very regularly about how he was doing!”
“Lucia was able to accommodate my last minute boarding request for my puppy. She's communicative, flexible, and provided a very welcoming home. I received multiple photos a day and even came back to a groomed dog. I would recommend Lucia!”
“Courtney is wonderful with my dogs. I can always go away and feel comfortable leaving them with. I appreciate every thing she does for them and I know they will be safe and well taken care of.”

I had great peace of mind knowing my pet was in such good hands while I was away. I highly recommend Clareese to anyone in need of a reliable pet sitter!”
“Tiffany did a FANTASTIC job with our kitties. One of my kitties has FLUTD, and she was knowledgeable of the disease and made sure they had fresh water daily and added water to their food. I loved getting all her photos, and I felt confident that my kitties were receiving the very best care. She's very trustworthy, and I will definitely use Tiffany again!!”
“Ashley was fantastic and I would use her services again in a heartbeat. She was extremely thorough in following the instructions I left and reached out with questions for anything that was unclear. Her reports were detailed with plenty of cute pictures for reassurance.”
“Sari is so patient and gentle with my deaf cat Luna : ) Luna is very shy and hesitant to play with visitors, but Sari worked expertly to gain Luna's trust without pushing her boundaries and even took special note of which toys/treats Luna was responding to (and I am sure Luna appreciated this very much too hehe!). It is extremely reassuring to know that my cat is under such kind and attentive care while I am away : ) Sari is fantastic!”
“Rose was excellent to work with. She was extremely flexible and attentive as we dealt with a fluid trip out of town due to the loss of a family member. She dealt with my diabetic cat’s medication smoothly and took such wondering care of my two cats while I was away. All instructions on feeding and cleaning were followed excellently and when I returned a day early, Rose was incredibly accommodating. We are incredibly grateful to have worked with Rose during a difficult time in our lives, she put our mind at ease with our cats while we were gone - we hope to work with her again!”

“Haley took great care of our cats. She administered medication and earned the trust of our shy cat. She gave consistently updates with pictures, which we appreciated. We've already rebooked her for more check-ins. Thanks Haley!”
“Divya is a really passionate sitter who genuinely cares about animals. She worked hard to earn our cat’s trust and they ended up bonding. The amazing photos and summaries she provides gives us peace of mind when we are away. Highly recommend Divya!”
“We always have the best time on vacation when Allyson is cat sitting at our house because we know we don’t have to worry about anything. The cats are so cared for and the house is so clean when we get home. 10/10 forever.”
“Sarah did an amazing job with our anxious pup who is not used to new faces! Loved seeing pics of her while we were away. We really appreciated her flexibility to meet and check in on her.”

“Adrienne is awesome and straight up THE BEST! She is super dedicated, very professional, and easy/very reliable regarding communication. I can’t recommend her highly enough, and I have zero hesitation leaving my Lily with her.”
“Valerie was terrific! She treated our little Hattie like her own and provided routine updates with pictures. We've already scheduled our next Doggy Day Care!”

“Christy is great! She kept me updated throughout the day with pictures and double checked instructions on care for my dog. My dog came back so happy and tired after her day with Christy. Would definitely recommend!”
“Justin was great as he was able to accommodate a late evening daycare visit for our dog Fran while we went for an event in town. He was incredibly accommodating and flexible with the timing and was very eager to help. His corgi Watson is adorable and a very social dog. Our dog was anxious but Justin was able to keep her company and sooth her while we were gone for a few hours, she eventually relaxed and laid her head on his lap! I would highly recommend Justin to take care of your dog as he loves them and provides great care for them.”
“Tia was a great puppy sitter for our Monty! She updated us throughout the day with videos. Monty was playful and happy. She took great care of our fur baby! Would definitely recommend her.”
About: Animals have been part of my life since day one. I grew up with dogs and cats of all personalities! I currently share my home with Kisses, my calico, and Teddy, my German Shorthaired Pointer — one of the highest-energy breeds out there — so if your dog goes a mile a minute, I'm more than ready for it!! Over the years I've dog sat for all sizes and breeds — from tiny lap dogs to large, boisterous pups — and I treat every single one like they're my own. Your pet will be loved, played with, and completely spoiled. My home has a fully fenced backyard with plenty of room to run, zoom, and explore that's perfect for dogs who need to burn off some energy. I'm also comfortable administering medication, so pets with special health needs are absolutely welcome. Your baby will get the same attentive care at my place that they get at home. Whether your pet needs a calm, cozy stay or a high-energy playmate, I've got them covered. I can't wait to meet your furry family member! I work remotely with a very flexible schedule, which means pet care is never an afterthought. It's woven into my whole day. I'm home the majority of the week, and on the rare occasion I do step out, I'm never gone for more than 3 hours. Your pet will always have someone present, attentive, and ready to play, cuddle, or just keep them company. No long stretches alone, ever. My home is set up thoughtfully for both dogs and cats. The layout is split-level, with cats having full run of the upstairs and dogs enjoying the main floor plus access to the fully fenced backyard — plenty of space to play, explore, and burn energy safely. The two never have to share space unless everyone is comfortable. I do have a resident calico and a German Shorthaired Pointer, both of whom are friendly and social, so I do ask that visiting pets are comfortable around other animals of their kind. I always offer a free meet-and-greet before booking so we can make sure everyone — pets and people — feels good about the stay before any commitment is made. My home is puppy-proofed and high-energy-dog-ready, and I have 24/7 SimpliSafe security monitoring for added peace of mind. You can expect regular photos and updates throughout every stay because you shouldn't have to wonder how your pet is doing. When caring for pets in your home, I follow your instructions exactly. Your routines, your rules — meal times, crate preferences, favorite toys, walking routes — I stick to all of it. I respect your home as if it were my own, always clean up after your dog outside, and scoop litter boxes daily. Your pet's comfort and your peace of mind are the whole point.
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ If I could leave 6 stars, I would! This was my first ever Rover reservation, so it’s a little overwhelming trying to choose a sitter from all the options — knowing they’re all strangers after all. I booked last minute AND I adjusted my reservation. Sara was so accommodating and flexible with all of my needs. I immediately felt at ease when I met her and her pup Grim, and I knew Cody was in good hands. Definitely will use again and recommend. Thanks for treating Cody like one of your own!”
About: I love dogs, I used to help take care of our family dog before she passed away, and I always help out with my neighbors three pets! I miss being around pets, so helping out on Rover will be a good substitute. :)) I have a pretty wide-open schedule. I will be out of the city at the end of October for Halloween. Please feel free to message with any questions! I have pet-friendly apartment. I live near a lot of grassy areas and a few outdoor trails I could take them for frequent walks on!
“Deanna could not have been better with my two dogs. My Malamute was getting jealous of any attention Deanna got from any other dog, including my Pomsky, and she handled it wonderfully. She, very obviously, loves dogs and knows how to handle them. Also, her dogs were wonderful.”
About: I have had the pleasure of working as a pet care attendant for two separate boarding facilities over the course of 6 years! I also have a few years of experience working as a vet tech assistant! I have lots of experience with animals with different medical needs and have had dogs all my life! I currently am working short part time shifts only a few times a week. Other than that I am available to walk, feed, and play with any pets that need it! I have no other animals in my home, and live near plenty of green space as well as some dog parks for walks and play time!
“It was Riley's first road trip to Philly (from GA). While his humans cheered on the Temple football team, Brittani provided excellent care and showed Riley around! She even took professional-grade photos of his walks! And, Riley enjoyed playing with her fur baby. If Riley's in town for any other home Temple football game, he'll be asking to go to Brittani's!!”
About: I've lived with cats and dogs all my life. Currently working from home. I worked at Petco for five years so I know a lot about pet care. I'd love to take care of your beloved pet while you're away knowing that they're in good hands with a nice family! I will provide updates daily. I currently work from home and I'm here all the time except when I have to go out for groceries so I'm not out for a long time. Your pet will not be left alone for hours. I have two indoor cats who are friendly to other cats and small dogs. I'm willing to do drop in visits too if you feel more comfortable.
“Justin is absolutely wonderful! My sweet, quirky fur baby had a great time hanging out with him. He sent updates and pictures (which always makes a dog mama smile) and was very easy to get in touch with. We will definitely be booking another stay with him soon!”
“Erin was great! Watched our pup with last minute notice, gave us photo updates, stayed in communication. I know pup had a great day with Erin! He got lots of attention! Thank you, Erin!!!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 9 years old. My family has had 3 dogs at a time since then and I have always been responsible for watching them, letting them out, and feeding them. I currently own a year old Jack Russel named sir loin and he is absolutely obsessed with making friends! I’m always available on during the week and weekend as I have a remote job. So this includes overnights, drop ins, babysitting, and walks throughout the day. My fiance and I rent in a great neighborhood full of dogs. We live right by a park and I have a little yard right outside of my house.
“Amy was great! Cronus has so much fun playing with the other dogs. He will definitely be a regular! She gives great updates and makes sure that your furry friend is taken care of. ☺️”
About: I am an experienced petsitter who has worked in a professional, insured capacity (for Heavy Petting Petsitting) for over a decade. I also have experience working as an Adoptions Counselor at the Humane Animal Rescue of Pittsburgh, where I was trained in the “Fear Free”, positive reinforcement-focused method of animal training and handling. I have an extensive understanding of both canine and feline body language and behavior, and have worked with dogs and cats of all breeds and personality types! Updated rates reflect current gas prices and road closures. Thank you for understanding! I’m a college professor who has wide availability during the summer months. During the fall, my daytime schedule may be more restricted, but I am usually at home at least a couple of days of the week! I have a household of a dog (cattle dog mix) and two kitties who are all very animal friendly! However, if your fur baby is not a fan of other animals, I am happy to stay at your home and follow your preferences as far as house conduct goes.

About: I have experience walking and caring for dogs of many different sizes and ages. I always work hard to keep your pet safe and happy!

“My pups, Rex and Bex, have been walking with David every week for a year. On the days that they know he’s coming, they can’t contain their excitement and sit at the window waiting for him! He is a reliable and caring dog walker for my energetic labs.”
“Thank you so much for your patience with my dog. My dog is vocal and it can be intimidating but she's really a good girl. I really appreciate the long walk and that she managed to put her back in the crate. I would definitely use her services again.”
About: Will love your pet like theyre part of my family. They bring me joy to be around as well we would make a good team. I just officially moved to the area and would love to meet other animal lovers in the area to help build a community. Been through some things and animals have been bringing me joy to be around. 🫶🐈🐕🫶 Unfortunately, my place doesnt allow pets so I would have to care for your pets in your home. It is one of main reasons I would like to do this miss my furry friends!
“Ashley is absolutely incredible! She brings her own poop bags and treats and is very attentive to Finn’s needs. She sends me picture and video updates which soothes my separation anxiety! I am going to continue to use her services, as Finn already is attached to her.”
“Tiffany is on time and does a great job with Coco. She gets her exercise for sure and is tired and content when she gets back. Thank you Tiffany.”
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life. From the age of five all the way through my undergrad years, my home was always full of pets — dogs, cats, fish, lizards, you name it — so caring for animals has always been second nature to me. That experience started hands-on and early: when I was nine, I helped deliver my dog’s litter of puppies. Today I share my life with my dog, Ollie, whom I raised myself from the day we brought him home from the breeder as a puppy. Knowing a dog from puppyhood — the training, the routines, the little quirks — has given me a lot of patience and a good instinct for what each individual animal needs. The services I offer: Dog walking — A safe, leashed walk at the pace and distance that suits your dog, with plenty of sniff time, potty breaks, and fresh water when we get back. I’ll always let you know how the walk went. Drop-in visits — Feeding and fresh water, potty breaks or litter box cleaning, medication if needed, and real one-on-one time for play, cuddles, or just company so your pet isn’t alone all day. I’ll tidy up any messes and double-check doors and gates before I leave. House sitting — Overnight care in your own home, where your pet is most comfortable. I keep their normal routine intact — meals, walks, bedtime, all of it — and keep your home secure and tidy while you’re away. My availability: I work from home with a very flexible schedule, which means pet care fits naturally into my day instead of being squeezed around a commute. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays throughout the week — mornings, midday, afternoons, and evenings — and I’m able to accommodate both recurring bookings and last-minute requests. Because I’m home most of the day, I can give your pet consistent attention and plenty of time, not a rushed fifteen minutes between meetings. My own daily rhythm with Ollie already revolves around walks and playtime, so your pet slots right into a routine I genuinely look forward to. What you can count on: I know that trusting someone with your pet — and often your home — is a big deal, and I never take that lightly. I show up when I say I will, follow your instructions closely, and send photos and updates during every service so you always know how your pet is doing. If anything ever seems off, you’ll hear from me right away. There’s nothing I enjoy more than a happy dog at the end of a good walk or a cat that finally decides you’re worth sitting next to. I’d love to give your pet that kind of care while you’re away — and I’m always happy to do a Meet & Greet first so you and your pet can get comfortable with me before booking. I work from home with a very flexible schedule, which makes pet care a natural part of my day rather than something I have to work around. I can accommodate walks, drop in visits, and house sitting throughout the week in the morning, midday, afternoon, or evening. I am also able to respond to last minute or recurring requests. Since I am home most of the day, I can give your pet consistent attention and stay close to their normal routine, whether that means a lunchtime walk, a couple of check ins, or overnight care in your home. My own dog Ollie keeps me on a steady rhythm of walks and playtime, so fitting your pet into that flow is easy and something I genuinely enjoy. Because I offer dog walking, drop in visits, and house sitting, most of my care takes place in your home and neighborhood, and I treat both with real respect. On walks, I keep dogs securely leashed, follow safe routes, pay attention to weather and pavement temperature, and stay focused on their comfort and body language. For drop in visits, I follow your instructions closely including feeding, fresh water, medications, potty breaks, litter boxes, and plenty of attention and play. I always double check doors, gates, and locks before I leave. For house sitting, I keep your pet’s routine as normal as possible in their own familiar space, keep your home secure and tidy, and treat it with the same care I give my own. Throughout every service, I send photos and updates so you always know your pet is safe and comfortable, and I reach out quickly if anything ever seems off. Trust is the foundation of this work, and I never take it for granted.
“Brittani was great to work with, super quick to respond and was able to help with such short notice. Mosa seemed to love her, so we’ll definitely be booking again!”
“Valerie has been wonderful to work with! I feel so comfortable leaving Finn with her, and he seems to welcome her company. She’s also very responsive and gives detailed summaries. I definitely recommend her!!”
“Ava was great with my pup! She responded quickly, was reliable, and took her on a nice walk. I really appreciated the prompt photo updates and communication throughout the visit. I would definitely book with Ava again and would recommend her to others looking for a dependable dog walker.”
About: My love for dogs is unmatched! I’m a junior in college who absolutely adores dogs and also happens to want to make money for tuition😂 School Year Hours: House sitting only available on weekends (Fri-Sun/Mon) Walking/Drop Ins available on Mon, Wed, Fri It’s a confusing schedule so if you need anything please reach out and I’m sure we can work something out! I will treat your animals with the care, love, and respect they deserve. Everything I do, I put 110% into, and I’ll make sure your pups feel loved! I always make sure to check if there’s ever notes from the client, get the important things done (like meds, food, necessary walks/bathroom) and then be able to focus on playtime or whatever your pup wants!
About: I am a college student with two dogs of my own at home. I am the biggest animal lover and treat all pets as if they were my own! I do not remember a time in my life where I haven't been involved in some way with animals. Whether that has been working on a farm, volunteering at a small animal clinic, showing my pet rabbit, or competing in horse competitions, all pets of many different shapes and sizes have been at the forefront of my life! I am highly active and will happily take your dog on walks, runs, hikes, and beach days if you'd like me too. I am also totally down to play inside and keep your pup company at your home! I am accustomed to giving dogs medication as I have a senior dog myself. I will be sure to send lots of pictures and videos while your away because I know how hard it is to leave our best friends! I can be highly flexible with my schedule. I work part time and therefore can typically make most situations work, just reach out and let me know what works best for you! They will be treated like a king/queen! I am used to an excited dog on a leash. I can be patient and accommodating for slower pups as well. I will follow directions exactly and have no issue with picky and particular dogs.
“Luke is awesome.He shows up on time.... And he's always mindful of my babies When walking them. He is quick to tell me how they did.And anything special that I need to know. Luke is exceptional, and I would highly recommend him.!!!”
“Sarah was really great with our 3 legged dog, Joy! She shared lots of photos and information about their walks and visits. She was very friendly and easy to work with.”

“Breanna was absolutely lovely! Zinnia had gotten sick on the way to their home and Breanna was still okay with watching over her! She kept me updated the entire time I was gone, sent lots of pictures, and followed my instructions to a tee (including the extra ones I added last minute to help Zinnia feel better)! Zinnia got used to her very quick and had a wonderful time playing, lounging, and going for walks together!”
“Our schedule was erratic and included my mistake in scheduling. Sima and her family were gracious hosts and worked with our schedule. I received updates on how our doggo was doing everyday. It has been a pleasure working with them, I would definitely consider them next time we are in town.”
“We recently needed to find a new sitter for our dogs for the first time in a couple of years so we were a little anxious about how they would handle a new place. They had a great first stay with Ellyn! She sent pictures/updates every day and we could tell that they were comfortable and well cared for. They were happy and tired from their adventures when we picked them up. We will definitely use Ellyn again and would highly recommend her!”
“Our dog Woody had a great stay with Victoria. It was our first time leaving him and we loved seeing the videos of him that she sent twice a day. She was easy to communicate with and very responsive to any questions. He came home happy and tired from playing with all of his friends.”
“We would like to give Ali 10 stars! She was the best possible caregiver for our nervous goofy dog. She sent dear photos and videos during our trip, and it was so sweet to hear how she spoke to Lucky. On top of all of the expert care, she was extremely gracious and flexible when I made a mistake with the booking dates. We feel so fortunate to have found Ali.”
“Adrienne is a loving, flexible dog sitter. Her apartment is perfect for dogs. She really puts you at ease with contact while you are on the road. A+”
“Adisyn took care of our 48 pound hound mix for a week while my family was on vacation, and we felt really good about it the whole time. Our dog took to her right away during our meet-and-greet, Adisyn seems very sweet and to really enjoy dogs. She has a lovely fenced in backyard for her dog and ours to run around in, which was a big plus for us. It feels good to have a future pup sitter we trust!”
“Nelia took excellent care of Daffy while our family was away! She sent us 2 to 3 updates each day, along with pictures of our dog, which gave us tremendous peace of mind. The photos showed that Daffy wasn't simply being boarded, but was truly being included in the family's daily activities. We could not be happier with the care and service Nelia provided. If you're in the Pittsburgh area and need a reliable, caring dog sitter, we highly recommend her. We will absolutely use her services again in the future. Thank you, Nelia, for taking such wonderful care of our fur baby!”
“Adam was fantastic with Macy! He sent daily pictures of their activities; even twice on most days! Kept us up-to-date on all things and really gave us peace of mind leaving Macy behind for two weeks. We would 110% reach out to Adam again the next time we need a sitter for Macy.”
“Justin was great! He took great care of my dog, giving her multiple walks and play sessions, providing updates throughout her stay. His dog Watson was a great companion for her. I appreciate that he only takes one dog at a time, providing dedicated care while dog sitting. I would have Justin watch my dog again.”
“Raeann is truly the best. She cares for Bronn as if he were her own. She always sends lots of updates and pictures (which as anxious dog mom I appreciate immensely). I could not recommend her enough and Bronn is looking forward his next visit!”
“Courtney is wonderful with my dogs. I can always go away and feel comfortable leaving them with. I appreciate every thing she does for them and I know they will be safe and well taken care of.”
“Beedo had a fabulous time with Coralee. From the moment we arrived and the way she greeted us I knew this was going to go well. Coralee was attentive to Beedo's special needs and quirks and built an instant relationship with him. It was a great experience and I loved the picks she sent me of him relaxing with his blankie with her dog. I highly recommend Coralee and her dog Peducci. They're a great care team!”
“Lindsay and her family were so sweet and accommodating. They went out of their way to learn about my puppy and sent updates. They were there when I needed them. Thank you!”
“Tamara was an excellent sitter for my little dog! I will definitely book her in the future! I'm not sure my dog even wanted to come home. She was comfortable there from the get go! Tamara also went above and beyond when my dog grabbed a chicken bone thrown in the grass.”
“Amanda and Jack were absolutely amazing! My girl, Onyx, had an issue with her elbow, and they handled the situation with incredible care, compassion, and professionalism. They kept me updated with photos throughout her stay, which gave me tremendous peace of mind, and they even took her on a nature hike so she could enjoy some time outdoors. It's clear they genuinely care about the animals they look after. I highly recommend Amanda's services and wouldn't hesitate to trust them with Onyx again!”
“Valerie is an amazing pet sitter!!! She took great care of my sweet senior dog with medical issues. She followed my instructions exactly. She took him on several walks a day, trail hiking, and even took him to the pet store to buy him a bone marrow bone ❤️. She exceeded my expectations and I rebooked with her for this coming week. A++++++”
About: I've been surrounded by animals for as long as I can remember and have been caring for cats and dogs since I was a little girl. Growing up with pets taught me the importance of patience, responsibility, and understanding that every animal has their own unique personality and needs. Over the years, I've cared for and babysat pets for friends, family, and neighbors, earning their trust through dependable, compassionate care. My experience includes caring for cats and dogs of all ages, breeds, sizes, energy levels, and temperaments—from playful puppies and energetic dogs to senior pets who need a little extra patience and attention, as well as independent cats and affectionate lap cats alike. I understand that some pets warm up quickly while others need time to build trust, and I always let them set the pace. Whether it's feeding, walking, playtime, administering basic care, cleaning litter boxes, or simply providing companionship and comfort while you're away, I treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to make sure your furry family member feels safe, loved, and well cared for, while giving you peace of mind knowing they're in reliable hands. I work full time out of the home, but can be available to board animals overnight on weekdays for (1) night with a pick up by 7:30 AM the following day and can board or house-visit over the weekend (Drop off Friday after 4PM thru Sundays-pick up by 5 pm Sunday). I can do house visits any week day after 4 PM. I have a fenced in backyard and a very walkable, safe neighborhood. My home is a pet's paradise with lots of comfy couches and plenty of space to run and play, and windows for clocking in for Neighborhood Watch :) I don't mind animals sleeping with me, if they want to! Otherwise, plenty of places for furry ones to nap and snooze whenever they choose.
